In Peterborough, many years ago, a local golf course, sold off a piece of land to a developer, who then built 6 quality homes on the land, knowing it was next to the golf course.

 

Shortly afterwards, just because of a few wayward golf shots went in the direction of these houses, the club had to make alterations to the first hole to alleviate this problem.

 

The fact the golf course, had been there for years meant nothing, Once objections are raised then it presents a different scenario, and complaints from those houses will always take preference over any sporting exercise, regardless of who was there first.

 

Following the court judgement regarding Mildenhall stadium (which is now the binding case law on the subject) that is no longer true.

 

Basically, people who moved in next to the stadium were told that if they didn't like the noise, they shouldn't have bought the house. When they said they didn't know it was there, they were told they should have found out.

 

Court judgements are occasionally less than persuasive, but this one got it absolutely spot on.

The fact is with Klindt is that the talent is there, some of his gates in the Play off semi were outstanding ...But there can be no doubt as Chris pointed out that after getting injured his bottle went you can could see that last season . So all in all a risk but one worth taking .

Not a fan but with this watered down league easier rides a risk worth taking surely he can average 5.50 to 6.?

Welcome back Nicolai, I hope his second stint as a Robin is as productive as the first...

 

He could go either way and as HS says who cares what any Pirate fans think - they should stick to worrying about their own mob :t:

Cant be bothered to look at the new race format Yerropes'' but would he have 2 rides against the NL boys.?

I hope you are right, I really do. but many times I've seen the ruling go in favour of the household. I think it's more to do with the Judge than a certain ruling...

Swindon is different though, as the stadium owner/developer are also partners in the housing development project. Would you risk tens of millions of pounds worth of profit from housing for a poxy greyhound/speedway stadium?

surely once a ruling is enshrined in 'case law' then that ruling is binding irrespective of whims and wants of house owners?

This is usually the case but some have been known to be overturned.

The case of moving to an area which already has noise etc should be common sense, but how often is common sense ignored and the idiot who moves next to a noisy activity is able to get it resticted, ie get the noise from church bells restricted.

I think the point with the Mildenhall ruling is that it is specific to speedway stadiums and people complaining about noise and nuisance who have moved in afterwards and where the stadium is long established.

 

Its a court of appeal decision, so it will be binding (or at least very persuasive) on any future judgement where the same circumstances apply. For the layman, it also has the considerable benefit of being one that is backed by common sense - after all, if you don't like an area for whatever reason, it is not for that area to change to suit you but for you to choose somewhere else to live.

 

Its difficult to overstate the relevance of this ruling for existing stadiums surrounded by new housing developments (Edinburgh is a good example).
